We say that $K$ is an \\emph{exact copy} of $H$ if there is an automorphism of $Q_d$ which sends $H$ onto $K$. Let $n\\geq d$ be an integer, let $H$ be a configuration in $Q_d$ and let $S$ be a configuration in $Q_n$. We let $\\lambda(H,d,n)$ be the maximum, over all configurations $S$ in $Q_n$, of the fraction of sub-$d$-cubes $R$ of $Q_n$ in which $S\\cap R$ is an exact copy of $H$, and we define the $d$-cube density $\\lambda(H,d)$ of $H$ to be the limit as $n$ goes to infinity of $\\lambda(H,d,n)$. We determine $\\lambda(H,d)$ for several configurations in $Q_3$ and $Q_4$ as well as for an infinite family of configurations. There are strong connections with the inducibility of graphs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-09-10T20:30:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "configuration", "inducibility", "vertex set", "exact copy", "cube density" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
